So is AVEX, they've been pushing this anniversary thing for years now :-)
For me it still feels like a long road ahead.

Get ready for the albums we dont need, like 20th anniversary album collection with a mug at $800
I hope they do something exciting instead of throwing her old stuff together to make someting that looks new.

I think something that could be nice for it would be doing something like Namie did with Ballada - shooting PVs for songs that didn't get one before. We could finally get PVs for hanabi, independant etc. Although I would really want her to bring her A game for the PVs again though...

That's what the description makes it sounds like it will be. And honestly, the variation in the setlists from the TA tour means that she already has enough songs prepared to throw them all together for an epic length CDL.

Based on show start time it's gonna be usual length. But they have a right to change the time, so we'll see.

Or it could just end up running later than usual I suppose? They did say in the message that this will be a premium countdown live to commemorate the last yoyogi show for a while.

Maybe, but it would be problematic for people to return home and also to go to bed relatively early.

It would only end up being a late show on the last date and it's new years eve. Trains run later and in Tokyo most people end up staying up all night anyway, so it really wouldn't be much of a difference.
